The Network Operations Manager’s job just became a whole lot easier.

Introducing Integrated Packet Transport Network solution

It’s pretty much a given that the more complex a system, the more costly it will be to run and maintain, and the less likely it is to be resilient in the face of everyday pressures. And so it is with communications networks. I meet many network operations managers at industry events who have to deal with these issues when overseeing multi-layer, multi-technology, multi-vendor transport networks. It’s not an enviable task.

Years of investment in new solutions and new technologies to meet more diverse and more unpredictable traffic patterns have resulted in an accumulation of complexity that is becoming harder to manage. Today’s IP transport networks cannot be scaled up easily. Interworking between layers is cumbersome, network management tasks get more complex and take much longer and costs spiral.

But there is an answer.

Nokia Siemens Networks and Juniper Networks have joined forces to provide a solution that cuts through the complexity. Known as the Integrated Packet Transport Network solution it integrates multiple layers, creating a simple scalable architecture. Operators can now take advantage of the efficiency of IP while also enjoying the cost advantages of optical transport.
